EV's & Tundra's

Any rumors you can legally share about a X refresh?

I heard somewhere the S and X will eventually get eliminated, due to low production orders from 3 & Y competition

 

going to eyeball an LX600. probable test drive

but....damn...it stickers for 108k.

WTF happened? it's only a glorified 4runner now.

I am dreading stepping into the dealership.

The Tesla experience was awesome...they let us take the MX without a salesperson riding along.

This is not going to go well. I reckon I will cross my arms about 20 seconds into the dealership.


I hope they have a nice Sequoia inside...I'd like to see how they have changed---our 2006 Seq was perfection.


and I learned the reason why we have wood in our MS Plaid. that was only for '21. now you can only get carbon fiber.

 

would

be

epic.

 

Fuk yes.

 

He just trying to manipulate Doge price again?

 

I have said this before...I need a Tesla semi with a truck bed on it.

At that price you might as well buy another one @T-Rex266.

 

CT? Drive one again yesterday for a couple hours. Awesome vehicle!

 

5 days per week, 50 weeks per year. If the fuel cost that made him arrive at $65/day stays constant, he saves $16,250/yr.

I think Teslas are awesome and even like the polarizing CT, but let’s not pretend that buying a $100k depreciating asset to save $16k/yr makes sense from a purely financial standpoint.

The most compelling argument involves tech and smiles per charge, too.

 

combine that noise with a punch to the gut...and that's what it feels like.

no other car can do that.

at least under $100k.


if you can't ride in a tesla...try the rockin' roller coaster @ disney world. the take off is almost as good.

 

oversimplified the facts...however...what did I miss?

 

That looks good assuming he paid cash. I stand corrected on the simple figures, but I am thinking the guy is like most people who didn’t pay cash and will trade out of it before breaking even.

 

Agreed.

I have a hard time believing his net savings is that high.

Diesels are fairly efficient.

and Electrons are not always cheap.

right now $.40/kwh is the breakeven point. and some Tesla Superchargers charge about that much. $.33 around here.

 

Lx600. Vs MX

In short. The lx600 is small


Went by Lexus to see an lx600. I sat in front passenger seat. Got very comfortable.

then my son, 6’3”, went to sit behind me.

he said “ dad move your seat up so I can get in

what?

seriously?

yep

There is no way I would need to move my seat up in a $110k suv. This was the base model plus stereo upgrade

yup

it has the same leg room as the MS rear seats

we were amazed.

no friggin way 4 adults could sit in that suv


Then we went back to Tesla. My son wanted to sit in the MX.

Easy fit. 4 adults could easily take a ride in it

and the Plaid is $15k cheaper than the lx!!

I remember when the Land Cruiser was a decent size. Now, it’s a 4Runner.

the gx550 looked awesome. $75k!
